IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Freda L.
Rupke
June 9, 1921 – October 28, 2010
Obituary
Freda L. Rupke, 89, of Prairie View, Kansas was born on June 9, 1921 in Norton County, Kansas. She was the daughter of Albert K. and Minnie (Pakkebier) Schemper. On October 28, 2010 she departed this life at the Logan Manor Nursing Home in Logan, Kansas.
Freda attended the Prairie Queen Country School. She was President of her senior class and graduated from Prairie View High School in 1938. She was united in marriage to Walter J. Rupke on March 12, 1943 at the home of her parents near Prairie View. To this union three children were born: Wayne, Shirley and Wanda. They made their home southeast of Prairie View, Kansas for a short while and then moved to their farm northeast of Prairie View, where they farmed until 1984 when Walter passed away.
Freda then moved to Prairie View and resided there until 2007 when she moved into the Logan Manor.
Freda was a dedicated member of the Luctor Christian Reformed Church of which she was a member of the Golden Hour Circle. In her younger years she sang in small quartets, cantatas, and was also an accompanist. Freda was very talented, as she taught herself how to play the piano and could also play by ear. She enjoyed playing piano for the residents of the Logan Manor Nursing Home.
She was very particular in all that she did, which showed in her sewing, cooking and even handwriting. The smell of Mom's homemade bread on Saturday is a fond memory and was definitely a family favorite.
Freda was a kind, gentle spirit who was supportive of her family. She attended many activities her grandkids were involved in, as health would allow, and was very proud of their achievements. She will be missed by her family and friends.
Her parents and husband, Walter, preceded her in death.
She is survived by son, Wayne Rupke & wife, JoAnn, of Prairie View, KS; daughters, Shirley Henrickson & husband, Art, of Logan, KS and Wanda Rahjes & husband, Doug, of Kensington, KS; six grandchildren: Philip Henrickson & wife, Jennifer; Andrea Wingfield & husband, Brad; Pvt. Vance Rupke; Emma Rupke; Laci Rahjes and Ryanne Rahjes; and eight great-grandchildren: Kaytie, Seth, Rebekah and Hannah Henrickson and Caleb, Kylie, Kiersten and Camden Wingfield.
Funeral services were held Tues. November 2 at 2:00 p.m. in the Luctor Christian Reformed Church with Rev. Jeff Van Der Weele officiating. Burial followed in the Luctor Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Luctor Christian Reformed Church
